Picture this. Your friends and family covet those sweet soft baby blankets adorned with miniature kittens and puppies that you have been crocheting for years. Everyone says you’re a natural for a show like QVC. But you think, me?! How do I do that? How can I get there?

This innovative new selling method is the first live streaming social buying and selling platform that you can do anywhere. Anyone can peddle their wares and buy products from mops to motorcycles to marbles. Think QVC meets Facebook Live. As Ricki Lake says in a promotional video on the site, “YOU get a show! YOU get a show! Everyone gets a show!”

Music superstar and cookbook author Trisha Yearwood even got into the action. Yearwood recently went live on TalkShop.live and sold out 400 colorful tumblers in just over 15 minutes. So whether you’re a Grammy-winning New York Times bestselling author like Yearwood or Mandy Graham, owner of Sparkleberry Ink, an independent craft vinyl seller, everyone is welcome. Graham launched her TalkShop.live channel three months ago and it has already changed the revenue stream of her business. She sells out shows in 15 minutes.

TalkShop.live is the brainchild of brother and sister duo Bryan Moore and Tina Moore. They saw the need for this platform because of the ever-changing retail landscape in America. “Main streets across the country are filled with abandoned storefronts,” says Bryan. “I was inspired because with all the success of live streaming, there had to be a way to effectively marry that with selling.” Their vision was to give everyone the power to create their own QVC dream show and create demand for their products. “And if you look through the shows, it is inspiring to see that American small business still has a chance to thrive,” Bryan says.

Another part of the TalkShop.live allure is seeing who is selling what. There’s The Hungry Monkey baking company in Lake Forest, Illinois, and their small batch chocolate chip banana bread. Drag queen Dixie Longate sells Tupperware with panache. There are even celebrity hairstylists and makeup artists. Julie Morgan (FoxyFleet) works with Elle Macpherson, Giada De Laurentiis and Chelsea Handler. In fact, Katy Perry’s dress designer, Julie Mollo, launched an exclusive line of clutch handbags and sells one design exclusively on TalkShop.live each month. Best of all, TalkShop.live has opened doors for struggling entrepreneurs to revive their businesses in super creative ways. And for those who want to support small businesses, they have a new place to shop.
